We all met in Sweihan Gate 12 at 2 pm. Where we prepared our cars and had our safety briefing focusing on the main safety concerns, convoy set up and basic skills required for newbie drives.
Marshal Support :
Bisho
Khaled (Pharoah)
Awesome Newbies :
Praveen
Qurat
Krystyna
Attiya
Ossama
Convoy was set having Praveen as my second lead and Ossama as the official sweeper. Thank you guys for being solid support. Khaled was watching over the convoy from the sides. We started our drive, had a few second tries and a couple of stucks (can't wait to see the pics) but overall the drivers did really well. We had 2 passengers on board Umar who was supporting the trip and Mariam the official photographer of the trip. We drove along the dunes of Sweihan increasing the pace bit by bit. We had a couple of breaks where we all gathered and enjoyed the lovely weather. On our way back Bisho took the lead. We finished the trip at around sunset.
Looking forward seeing you all soon.

Thankyou Misso Bisho for organising and leading a wonderful trip. It was a great learning experience for me to drive in Sweihan dunes, a good change from passenger to driver. Thanks to Khalid for support. Enjoyed the trip thoroughly.

Thank you very much for a great journey, during which not only me as the driver but also my whole little support team in the car had a great experience and adventure. Thank you, Marshals, for another fascinating desert driving lesson; I look forward to my next trip. I want to thank the members who helped me with technical matters. I am very grateful to Stouchka for encouraging me to take part in this wonderful journey with wonderful people. Best Regards

Thanks Maissa and Bisho for the trip. It was great fun today, despite that my legs are hurting bad now since my driver left me behind walking the dunes for sometime. But overall the trip was very good and lot of learning points for the drivers. Look forward to see you all in Sand again.
All the best
